| Obverse description | Enthroned bishop depicted in full frontal view, wearing a bicorn mitre, seated with arms extended, clasping a cross-staff in each hand. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylised manner characteristic of medieval Friesach-type pfennigs. A circular legend in Latin script is inscribed between two concentric circles framing the central device. |

| Reverse description | Frontal bust of a winged bishop wearing a bicorn mitre, depicted with outstretched wings flanking the figure in an angelic or heraldic convention typical of Friesach pfennig coinage. A cross appears below the bust as a central dividing element. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded circle, consistent with the hammered bracteate-related tradition of the region. |
